Free Brett and Hannah (Soul Mates 101 Series) by Scarlet Wolfe Page B

Hannah,” he pleaded.
    She let go of Austin’s lips.
    “Why should I help you, Brett? You keep hurting her.”
    “I told her I was sorry, but she still went off with some guy.”
    “Let her go. You two are like oil and water,” Austin said.
    “I can’t do that. I want to be with her. I’m not fighting it any longer, and I’m not letting her slip away from me to some asshole in there.”
    “If you really mean that , I think it’s great, but let it go tonight. I think she’s just with our friend Nick. Talk to her tomorrow when you’re both sober,” Chelsea said.
    “There are two guys trying to get with her.” Brett began pacing again.

    As soon as Hannah walked back into the family room, Jordan called her over to the couch where he was sitting. She looked at Nick. “I’m going to go talk to this guy from one of my classes.”
    He sighed. “Alright, then I’m going to find some of my friends.”
    Hannah could see it bugged him. When she got to Jordan, he grabbed her arm, pulling her down onto his lap. It caught her off guard, but she didn’t resist. Trying to inch her dress down over her thighs, she looked for her friends. Jasmine and Morgan were across the room but didn’t notice her.
    Jordan p ulled Hannah down closer to him and whispered in her ear. “You feel pretty good on my lap.”
    She pulled away and looked at him.
    “I watched you all semester, Hannah. I wanted to make a move, but I was afraid you’d shoot me down. Tonight I have some liquid courage, and you’re irresistible, so I’m giving it a shot,” he said with a mischievous grin.
    Jordan pulled her closer and squeezed her waist as he kissed on her neck.
    Empty kisses. Brett’s wouldn’t feel empty.
    His aggressivene ss was making her uncomfortable. Unsure of what to do, she sat frozen, letting him kiss on her.

    “Are you all ready to go? The girl I was trying to take home bailed thanks to Brett dropping her friend. He’s on my last damn nerve,” Matt said.
    “Cody and I are ready, ” Dylan replied.
    Austin and Chelsea still sat on the ledge.
    “Would you want to go back to the house with me tonight?” he asked.
    “OK, s ounds good,” Chelsea answered with a smile.
    Brett overhe ard her.
    “W hat about Hannah? How will she get home if you leave her here?”
    “She’ll go home with one of our friend’s . I’m sure she’ll figure it out. She can always call Hudson.”
    “ She barely gets by when you’re with her. She’s drinking, so you can’t just leave her here,” Brett insisted.
    “You know, she did surv ive before you came along,” Chelsea said.
    Matt walked up beside him.
    “Brett, come on, we’re leaving.”
    “I’m not leaving until I walk through the house and see that Morgan and Jasmine are watching Hannah.”
    “Brett, I’m not in the mood to fight, and I feel like you’re one fuck up away from having us in one. We’ll go out through the house, but I mean it, no shit,” Matt said, pointing his finger in Brett’s face.
    Brett didn’t reply. He couldn’t make any promi ses. He walked into the house, his friends and Chelsea falling in line behind him. He walked into the living room and saw Hannah desperately trying to free herself from Jordan. His mouth was on hers, his arms holding her down in his lap.
    “Brett, don’t, ” Cody said.
    “Dammit, Brett , don't do it!” Matt shouted.

Chapter Fourteen
     
    The switch was flipped. Brett charged at them and plucked Hannah right off Jordan’s lap. He grabbed him with both hands and lifted him off the couch by his shirt. Brett took a swing as fiery rage and jealousy gushed out of him. After clocking Jordan right in the jaw, he let him go, causing him to drop back to the couch.
    “If you ever touch any part of her body again, you’re a dead man!”
    Everyone in the room was gaping in silence.
    “Brett, you’re crazy!” Hannah yelled.
    “You’re going with me,” he said.
    “Like hell I am.”
    “You know you want to, shortcake, so
